Description

The development of IT governance - which recognizes the convergence between business management and IT management - makes it essential for managers at all levels in organizations of all sizes to understand how information security risks are best dealt with. In addition, the Turnbull report on company risk management gives directors of public companies a legal responsibility to act on computer security. This text is intended to fill a gap in the literature for a handbook to guide the business person through the maze of issues and through the process of achieving ISO certification in Information Security Management. It covers all aspects of data security, providing the reader with sufficient information to understand the major issues and how to minimize risk.
